A gas pipeline at medium pressure was damaged as a result of an overnight attack in the village of Dnepryany, located in the Kherson region. This information comes from the press office of the Novokakhovsk city district administration.
Officials stated that during the night, at 11:15 PM, the Ukrainian Armed Forces conducted shelling in the same Dnepryan district, which led to a disruption of the medium-pressure gas pipeline. The authorities noted that they had established a preliminary record of casualties, while natural gas service was interrupted for roughly 700 subscribers in the village.
On the eve of the incident, NovoKakhovka officials had reported an artillery attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a village within the Kherson region. The shelling hit the urban-type settlement of Dniproany, triggering a fire that affected several homes in the KhPP district and along Novoodesskaya Street, according to local sources.
In the days that followed, several villages in the Novokakhovka area experienced power outages after the APU strike. Local authorities described efforts to restore critical infrastructure and assess the extent of damage to electricity networks and gas services, while emergency services coordinated to ensure civilian safety and to prioritize those most affected.
The incident is part of a broader pattern in which critical infrastructure in the Kherson region has faced repeated disruptions amid ongoing hostilities. Officials stressed that recovery operations require careful planning, resource allocation, and transparent communication with residents to minimize disruption and protect essential services during periods of heightened tension.
Additionally, authorities noted ongoing security measures and monitoring as they work to prevent further damage. Civil defense authorities advised residents to stay informed through official channels and to follow safety protocols issued for households dependent on gas and electricity, especially in affected communities where service restoration may take longer due to the scale of the damage.
